Dutch MTB guy in Houston

Hi there,

I'm from the Netherlands (Apeldoorn) and I'm in Houston for a couple of days.
Sunday I've got a day off and I planned to make a mountain bike ride. Just for the experience.

But I've no idea where to start:
- What are nice spots to ride ?
- Are there MTB associations doing Sunday rides?
- Are there people want to take me out for a ride?
- How to get a MTB (HT) ? Rental?
- Are there things to watch out for ?

West End is open 12-4 on Sundays and located on Blossom St., about 5-10 min ride to Memorial Park. If you're renting, ask for Louis (rental manager). Mountain bike rentals are $35-75/day, depending on how fancy you go.
